At what time? After the First or Second Great Awakening? Yes, because literacy rates were higher and evangelism was so successful. In colonial times there were a LOT of unchurched folks in much of what we now think of as the South, and not just the lower colonies. I don't mean Indians; I'm talking about white folks. But of course that changed. If you get a chance and want to know more, check out a book titled Southern Cross. It's about how the South became the 'Bible Belt.' VA is not, of course, the Deep South (it's Upper South). I bring it up because I love VA and the tangent might be fun for you. It used to be that Virginians (under the king) had to go to church once a month of pay a fine. The church was the good old Co E-- but there weren't enough ministers and not too many towns for a long while, so people often only did the minimum attendance. Common practice the militia meets at the same time, and had dogfights, horse races, and eating and drinking gatherings after services. |

No, you aren't deluded. I agree 100% But the solution is hella easy. The date match up only matters if you are using crossworld PCs. And who cares if your PC crosses over in 2005 versus 2012? Does it matter? For the vast majority of PC concepts, I'm going with a huge 'nope.' Even the using the 1980s doesn't make much difference, unless you want your Earthborn PC to have been in the Gulf War or be born after the fall of the Berlin Wall, or something like that. I kinda prefer 80s. Big hair fantasy! |
